Top of the world
This is a lovely apartment at the top of the hill overlooking Chorges. The neighbors are an international group. Everyone was so kind and helpful . Lots of suggestion and information for places to see and visit in the area. The apartment is very well equipped, perfect for 2 people. The terrace is a wonderful place to have morning coffee or evening cocktails or just spend time relaxing during the day! We spent a delightful week here.

Perfect Getaway
My wife and I stayed with Laddie and Martine this summer and could not have had a better experience. The day we arrived we were invited into their home to visit with them and their neighbors over a bottle of wine and snacks (both were excellent). The cottage itself was wonderfully decorated and equipped with every convenience. The Chorges area is a perfecthome base for day trips into the Alps and there was plenty to see. Laddie and Martine were extremely helpful with local area information and we enjoyed every suggestion they gave us. If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the French Alps look no further. We hope one day to return and spend more time at this wonderful cottage.

A pleasure to stay here
Extremely comfortable, easy to find with Google maps. We were provided with a wealth of information on the local area. We had a lovely time, with bread available at Le Fournil de la Mourette at in Réallon in the hamlet of Rousses every Tuesday and Friday. The Chorges boulangerie being on holiday. Very good restaurant, le Moss at La Bréole and the D57 down to the beach on the lake shore. The cathedral at Embrun. We would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Martine

Host profile image
Along with my partner, I enjoy the nature, the mountain activities, the good food and the marvellous quality of life in this pollution-free area. We bought this 19th century house in 2008 and were attracted to it by its superb mountain location and views down over the Serre-Poncon Lake. We have renovated it with sensitivity to retain its original charm.

Why they chose this property

We know this region and particularly appreciate its sunny climate and its turquoise-colored lake and changing, it is also nicknamed 'the sea to the mountains.' It is with evident pleasure that we love to share the joy of living here, the discovery of a region which has strengths that have nothing to envy to the remains of the Alps. Chorges is a thriving market town situated between Gap and Embrun. It has a very popular Sunday morning market and in the summer time there is also a market on Wednesday evenings. It has a relaxed atmosphere and a variety of good shops, bars and restaurants
